Deflabert 6 Syrup 30 ml

Deflabert 6 Syrup from Albert David contains Deflazacort, a glucocorticoid (corticosteroid), in a liquid form. The syrup is helpful for children and patients who find it hard to swallow tablets.

• Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions in children
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Duchenne muscular dystrophy
• Severe allergic and skin conditions
• Asthma flare control

Deflazacort is converted in the body to an active form that lowers inflammation and calms an overactive immune system. This reduces swelling, pain and other symptoms of the disease.

Give as prescribed by your doctor. Shake the bottle well and measure with the cup or syringe that comes inside, not a household spoon. It is often given with food or milk. Never stop suddenly; the doctor will lower the dose slowly when it is safe.

• Mood or sleep changes
• Higher blood sugar or blood pressure
